Desperate times

I woke up today feeling pretty lousy, and having been sent an email from the school at midnight warning about a mumps outbreak didn't make me feel any better.  I'm pretty sure I don't have mumps, but I've got something, and it's not pretty.  Suffice to say that I wasn't really up to making myself anything to eat, so I was blessed to have Kurt to get me take out from the Chinese place on the ground floor of our building.

He actually got this for me for lunch, but all I could do was drink half the soup.  I don't know why, but I didn't take any Advil.  I just slept.  When I woke up in the afternoon, I finally gave in, and my appetite returned like nothing had happened.  I polished off everything here:  egg flower soup with tofu, cabbage, peas, and carrots, chow mein, lemon chicken (that seemed pretty much like orange chicken), black pepper string beans with chicken, and white rice.  I'm feeling better, and even though this is pretty cheap Chinese food, I think it helped.
